Is it possible to receive timecode going to a Behringer X-Touch One? (MCU / HUI)

I might be working on a new translation project with my new Behringer X-Touch One.

Previously I used BOME MTP in order to make my Presonus Faderport V1 to work with FL Studio.

The X Touch One can receive TimeCode which is quite neat and I wonder if MTP is capable of receiving that data and what its format is.

Basically I want this specific data to be received by MTP and parsed to the X Touch unaltered.

This unit can function with the MCU protocol, as well as HUI and plain MIDI.

Thank you!

Hi and welcome to the Bome community!

If your DAW is sending proper HUI or MCU timecode and your X-Touch One supports the format it is sending (and set to that mode), you can simply add a MIDI thru route from your DAW to your X-Touch One within Bome MIDI Translator Pro and it should work as long as you don’t have any other translators interfering with the incoming MIDI message from your DAW.

If not, we would need to know how your DAW is sending timecode and use translators to modify it accordingly. I’m not sure if the X-touch One supports timecode in MIDI mode.

Do you have a project file that you are using?

My plan is to do the same thing I did for my Faderport with FL Studio. I’m sorry to see my old post is not here anymore.

I think the only thing I need is how to set translators to receive timecode and pass it through but everything else will be remapped as needed.

Here is the Faderport project so you get an idea

FADERPORT-FL-STUDIO- 7_NoExpPedal.bmtp (19.4 KB)
.

If your DAW sends proper timecode and it is assigned to BMT 1, then all you should need to do is add the route.

Of course, You would alias ‘FaderPort Out’ to point to your X-Touch One.

Perhaps I’m wrong. But I think straight routing one to the other is going to also passthrough all non-translated data?

Or the Translators auto-swallow the data → translate it and send to the X touch without the ‘routing wire’ passing through the original data? Like a ‘Selective / Dynamic pass though’ based on what the translators are receiving?.

BTW: Can my profile have the reply timer set to none? The forum is making me wait 12 or 24min before replying (Probably an anti-bot measure). Thank you! :slight_smile:

The more you post, the more privileges you will get. I can’t control that.

Actually - FL Studio supports Mackie MCU mode natively so if you set up your X-Touch One as a Mackie MCU device, you might not need Bome MIDI Translator Pro unless you want some custom functions.

Thanks for the info.

‘unless you want some custom functions’

Yes. That is precisely what I want. The FL Studio implementation is ‘OK’ but not optimal and I just want to remap the buttons the way I want.

I think what I’ll do is to leave it in MCU mode, send it to MTP and remap things there. I see I don’t need much remapping.

I did that with my Faderport, down to adding ‘double tap’ to the motorized fader to reset it to 0dB. It has been working just great for the last 10 years.

That same project will greatly help me as all the incoming signals from FL are already there and all I need to do is to re assign the translators that do the functions and those to control the LEDs.

I never used a routing from MTP to the Faderport before (I just remapped everything) so I’m not sure that is possible and won’t cause conflicts. If the case is that by routing that way I can pass-through everything BUT the specific translators that would be actually great as I can skip on everything I don’t need to remap.

Yes, this can be done.
